Story behind the song
I wrote this song for two kids in my Youth Group who were going through some very painful stuff.
Lyrics
normal again
words and music by jessy vera
verse 1
oh Jesus, can You hear me
i’ve never talked to You before
oh, Jesus, can You see me
lying bleeding on the floor
i’m not alright i’m not ok
there’s this pain deep down inside
i’m an empty shell, i’m a vacant room
i just need a place to hide
verse 2
please father, don’t hurt me
just give me a chance to heal
oh, mother, won’t You listen
when i’m telling You how i feel
cause i’m not alright, i’m not ok
but You don’t seem to care
don’t tell me that it s all my fault
because it’s more than i can bear
pre-chorus
i just wanted to feel something again
i just wanted to know that these wounds will mend
i just wanted to see a glimpse of hope in the end
i just wanted to feel...
chorus
...normal again
verse 3
oh, Jesus, i don’t know You
but somehow i need You now
there is darkness all around me
and i’m too scared to make a sound
i’m not alright, i’m not ok
this pain is much too strong
i need Your love to pull me out
i’ve been gone for way too long
pre-chorus
chorus
